	Author	Review
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"This deranged and darkly comedic thriller (...) packs subversive pleasures aplenty, exaggerating the anxieties of marrying into an unfamiliar family"	POS
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"A frantic, bloody metaphor for the high price of wealth."	POS
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"There’s a brutal wit and audacity to 'Ready or Not' that makes it feel one-of-a-kind in an increasingly safe mainstream marketplace."	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"Weaving gives a star-making performance in this violent and satisfying dark comedy about the world's deadliest in-laws.	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"What’s unexpected is the subversive wit that that turns Ready or Not into a satiric sneak attack on the institution of marriage (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Scott Mendelson Forbes	"It's a delicious bit of late-summer nastiness (...) Weaving is thrilling to watch throughout (...) 'Ready Or Not' delivers on its core premise in as entertaining a fashion as you could want"	POS
United States	David Crow Den of Geek	"Setting a disarming mood of Gothic playfulness (...) the filmmakers craft an ending that leaves prey, predator, and audience breathless (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Rob Hunter Film School Rejects	"One of the year's most irresistibly entertaining movies (...) You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe in delight, and you’ll walk out wanting to immediately explore lead Samara Weaving’s entire filmography"	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"Samara Weaving is volcanic (...) Although directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett do a good job executing tense suspense sequences, neither the satire nor the setup is particularly convincing."	NEU
United Kingdom	Simran Hans The Guardian	"There is an elegance to the premise (...) and a satisfying clip to the rewardingly gory action (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Robey Telegraph	"There’s nothing getting in the way of pure, outré enjoyment here (...) It’s not pretty, but it’s bloody good fun (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Clarisse Loughrey The Independent	"There’s little nuance in this take on class warfare, but it’s Weaving’s touch of pure anger that makes it feel like more than just your average shlocky gorefest (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Ireland	Donald Clarke Irish Times	"What the film lacks in characterisation, it makes up in sheer, hurtling momentum (...) An absolute hoot (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Ireland	Deirdre Molumby entertainment.ie	"[It] is in equal parts thrilling and hilarious, integrating a sharp socio-economic commentary (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Ireland	Liam De Brún Film Ireland	"You’ll struggle to find a film as entertaining as 'Ready or Not' this year. From Samara Weaving’s star-making performance to the brilliant final 10 minutes, this is pure insanity."	POS
